the tunes are 'wikid', a true reflection of present generenation emotions, feelingsand thoughts. the question is, who are you really making it for?. US?. It may be easy to voice out our thought and objections to different issues affecting Africa, as opposed to what the majority needs are on the ground.
We need solutions, new strategies and ways to tackle our problems in apositive way. This way does not necessarly mean oppossition but addressing our accepted reality whilst considering and encompassing our traditions.
We know and are living the reality.
Solutions on the ground Vanha vevhu, respecting ourselves, culture and nature. Sevakaenda pasi, mudzimu nemuchikwadi.
